The London correspondent Of the Toronto
Globe says the British fish commissioners
have been given very great latitude. They
are to settle in any way they think best.
But the Globe has little faith in any arrange
ment that falls short of granting to the
Americans access to the fisheries on exactly
the same terms as British subjects, and to
the Canadians unrestricted reciprocity in
fish and anything else-that Is commercial
union. There is no hope for this, it thinks,
If Sir Charles Upper represents Canada in
the commission, concerning whom it says:

The service pension scheme which Gen.
Butler advocates as an expeditions device
for getting rid Of the surplus has several
times been condemned by the National En-
campment of the Grand Army. 1t has a
gooddeal of strength, however, in some of
the States. In Massachusetts,, where we
believe it originated, a majority of the Grand
Army Posts have given it their endorse
ment, and the men who are pushing it have
shown themselves exceedingly persistent
and persuasive. But the time has not yet
arrived for measure of that kind. The ex-
penditure in which it would involve the
country would be enormous. In case the
the service pension does not exhaust the
surplus Gen. Butler suggests the pensioning
of rebel soldiers. That may help the Gem
erals fame in Louisiana, but the North is
not likely to take kindly to it at present

Mr.. Higgins that they want him to come be-

FOREST PRESERVATION.

A Duty which the Present Generatioo
Owes to Its Successor.
Thus the matter of forest preservation
is, in the main, . problem for the imme-
diate future; save IN the valley Of the
Ohio and. perhaps. on the Adirondacks
the process Of destruction has not rs
yet begun to give extremely serious re-
suits.
Il seems, however. certain that the
conditions which have postponed the
question of forest management have
about exhausted their influence. and
that in the next half century we shall
imperatively need systematic control
Of our remaining timbered districts.
The Western prairie lands, or at least
those parts Of that vast region Of tree.
less plains which are suitable for till
age without costly system of irriga-
ton. are generally possessed BY settlers.
Already the population begins to press
back upon the older districts. which
were passed by as long as the hest
lands Of the West were to be had for
the asking. A large part Of the Appa-
lachiau forest district. though afforling
poorer soils than the prairies. is second
class land which can be profitably titled
If we count Is profit the interest OF the
farmer alone. without considering. the
effect of this tillage on the rest OF the
country. Considered from wider point
of view. We can not afford to have it
titled; for the reason that we need the
existing forests for the supply of timber
they may afford. - well as for their
effect on the rainfall and the water
supply of the rivers in whose valleys
they lie.
The forests are precious heritage Of
man-they provided him cradle; they
furnished him the soil. and they still
offer him their help in some Of his
greatest needs. No man has the right
to destroy them when their destruction
means calamity to his fellows or his
successors. To give the individual the
right to appropriate and overthrow
them at his will is to constitute him .
cruel despot; il such privileges exist in
the laws framed by short-sighted
osst. il is time they were annulled. -

The ball last Friday was such .
success that Mr.. Haines will give
another ON the oath.
Secretary DUTIES, of the towr
company, reports satisfactory trans
fers of lots this week.
George NJ. Peters, late of Cald
well, has built home on his claim
two miles west of town.
Duncan is going into the paint

run on red lead surely.
A. H. Kelly has got out the ma
terial for his home on Cuddy ave-
nue., a mile west of town.
Mr.. Mitchell, an electric light
man was in town Tuesday, and
went to Boise with Major Purdum.
Alec. DUTIES got out the material
for two houses on Tuesday and
loaded it. One was for Mr.. Lillard.
Judge Cuddy and family came
in from the suburbs Tuesday. He
says grass is two or three inches
high on his range.
The creek is getting full here,
but Harve Ashmore is the only one
who thinks of daming it, and he
does it because he can't get across.
Mr.. ]. Key Fulmer, when he
isn't selling goods, still puts in his
time fiddling to make that holy
terror of tomcat of his'n howl.
Mr.. Grumling, whose ranch is on
the north side, took time by the
heels and got over before the creek
rose. This is wood tick time, which
reminds Mr.. Grumling of his ex-
perience when he was a tenderfoot.
He got here just in time for the
ticks and for two or three days he
thought he had caught new in
sect on the cars and brought it to
Nampa. His eyes opened when he
saw the nature Of their daily "still

They're accusing Judge Cuddy of
being "Shylock," your other cor

say this is him. So long.
